Yes. I will test it. I was testing with warm cache also to my
curiosity about comparing pipes with temporary file reading as data
exchange facility. So I needed to avoid HD artifacts.
At that point, you'd actually do something that gitk can't do at all,
namely work well for the cold-cache not-very-packed large-repository
case. ]
Removing --topo-order from launch parameters is very simple, see from
gitstartup.cpp:
bool Git::startRevList(SCRef args, FileHistory* fh) {
QString initCmd("git rev-list --header --boundary --parents ");
if (!isMainHistory(fh)) {
// fetch history from all branches so any revision in
// main view that changes the file is always found
SCRef allBranches = getAllRefSha(BRANCH).join(" ");
initCmd.append("--remove-empty " + allBranches + " -- ");
} else
initCmd.append("--topo-order ");
return startParseProc(initCmd + args, fh);
}
It is already removed from file history fetching because there the
history it's _almost_ linear and you gain the speed without noticing
the different graph layout. But for main view I fear that complicated
branch structures could became difficult to follow without
--topo-order. Perhaps an option in settings?
To see this in practice (even with hot-caches), do something like the
following on the full historic Linux archive:
time sh -c "git rev-list HEAD | head"
time sh -c "git rev-list --topo-order HEAD | head"
where for me, the firstone takes 0.002s, and the second one takes 0.878s.
This is the data:
